Louise, Monty Don was being very 'macho' and wielding his mattock to earth up his potatoes in GW last night

Mattock is fine for digging out tree roots etc.
	I'll get around to it eventually

It would be a bit of overkill for earthing up my potatoes now. A few years ago before the soil had been improved so much, it was a necessity. It is much more useful than a pick axe

You swing it between your legs.
